I agree Cav, but you know as well as I do that a blow up camp performance or a big senior season and a move into the top 100 and more attention from recruiting sites usually makes kids' offer lists grow by leaps and bounds.

ACC recruiting blitz... Had this to say about Robinson...
"Miami also wants a couple of running backs. They already have Javarris James on board but they want a bigger, more physical back as well. Enter Tampa-area tailback Kylan Robinson, a player few outside of coaching circles have heard of. The 6-foot-1, 215-pounder rushed for 402 yards in a game earlier this year and Miami is close to getting a commitment over Ohio State and South Carolina. Robinson came to Florida from Alaska for his senior season and made a lot of people notice as the season wore on."

Will Miami offer? They have so much depth and other backs lined up.
I guess they will offer , then move him to LB!

Well they have some recruits coming in this weekend, so lets hope that one of them verbals and Robinson falls to us by default.

I looked at their visit list. They are currently expecting Emmanuel Moody (5-10 190, who's pretty much a USC lock at this point), Brandon Minor (6-0 210), and Graig Cooper (5-10 183) in for visits this weekend. If what I posted above is true about them wanting a bigger, more physical back, then we better hope they get Brandon Minor, or else I'm betting that Kylan gets his offer.

About 10 out of the top 15 backs int he country have USC as a favorite, so Moody might be wise to take an offer from Miami instead of USC.

If I am not mistaken Minor is more of a fullback recruit. I guess we will see.

interesting. james is reported to be up to around 210 now, and was measured at 6' at camp. robinson is 6'1'' 215. doesnt seem that big a difference to me. it seems odd that they are close to getting a commitment when they havent offered yet. some cane folks were saying if they are going to offer, they wont do so until his visit because they are waiting on other prospects. seems rivals is trying to drum up some hype about him.

Good article by Greg Powers. Robinson has offers from Miami (FL), Ohio State, and South Carolina. West Virginia and Florida are also involved.

[NavyBuck]

Now that he is claiming a Miami offer, it looks like he is a long shot. In fact, given his earlier statements I am surprised he didn't commit to Miami as soon as they offered. Sort of makes me wonder.......

[BuckeyeNation27]

I'm hearing from the Miami guys that he isn't a real target for them.

Interesting... This article was the first I've actually heard of a Miami offer too. I hope we can get this guy in the end. Can you imagine the backfield?

Here's our chance to see Robinson. Rivals has posted a ton of video.


EDIT:The videos are working now...
This kid looks TOUGH. He doesn't seem to have elite speed, but seems to have great vision and great cut back ability. His ability to make people miss is uncanny for a kid his size.

[tsteele316]

a lot of the miami folks have been saying its a verbal offer, and not official, just to keep him interested until they see how their other targets play out.

as for his videos, he may not have big time breakaway speed, but he is a bulldozer.

I just can't get over the juke moves he was laying on people. Those are just sick for a guy that is 220.

That's what I was hearing.....they don't like his speed. And in Florida, that's all they want.

It's very clear this kid didn't grow up in Florida, so he's only been exposed to Florida speed for about a year
